Produktbeschreibung

"Microbial Deep Life" explores the hidden world of microorganisms thriving in extreme subsurface environments, revealing insights into the limits of life and potential biotechnological applications. Investigating these deep biospheres provides a unique understanding of how life can flourish under extreme pressure, temperature, and nutrient limitations, offering clues about the possibility of life on other planets. These resilient microbes play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles, influencing Earth's climate and geological processes, making their study pivotal to understanding our planet's complete biosphere.

The book systematically introduces the geological and geochemical context of the deep biosphere, then delves into the diversity and physiological adaptations of subsurface microorganisms. It discusses their metabolic pathways, such as chemosynthesis and methanogenesis, highlighting their ecological roles and biotechnological potential.

By synthesizing data from deep-sea drilling projects and subsurface observatories, the book balances technical detail with accessible explanations, presenting a comprehensive view of this fascinating frontier in life sciences.
